Good information to know but hard to hear, especially when it pertains to one's own children or grandchildren. It makes sense and the stats about problems adoptive children have to deal with clearly demonstrate the accuracy of what you wrote. Knowing about this wounded soul at least gives parents insight into what they can do to help their children.

Thank you, Ray. I agree -- having knowledge of the problem at least can help us have empathy and be alert to their needs. It's better than the alternative.
